My Fighting Potential

If there's one thing that gets ignored by kids at school is the fact that I'm muscular and built to beat the shit out of them. In my class for "geniuses" one kid kept talking crap to me and saying he was better. Now it wasn't all in the same day, but across a couple. Anyways, we were talking about who's the Alpha male and the little shit calls me the Beta female. I go the Alpha is the strongest and smartest in the pack. Now not to "toot my own horn" but I am one of the smarter ones seeing as I don't really pay much attention in those classes and I'm stronger because I've done something to be that strong. I fuckin lift weights. Then there's those retards that play videogames all day and still decide to say their stronger than me. Well fuck them. I have a high potential for boxing and have developed my own style. Previously I didn't have a punching bag to practice it on, but now I do. And I have two separate styles. One that I call my altered because I'd use it in a knife fight also, assuming I had two knives. My other I call my mix because I use methods from Muay Thai ( Thai boxing centered around the elbows and knees) and traditional boxing and have combos that I've practiced previously to getting a punching bag. I still need to work on the integration of kicks and knees (don't know what to actually call it) into it but I got the fist part down. If anything I need to practice kicking because I can kick high, but not in the way I practice fighting. This is just cause I've built up a lot of muscle in my legs that hinder me because I needed to practice kicking earlier and never did. Before I had a punching bag I just practiced punches when I was running and backpedaling in my basement to do cardio. But my "altered" style isn't that good with a punching bag because I haven't built up wrist strength, something I'm going to start to do on benchpress days, so the way I hit the bag starts to really hurt my wrist after about the 4th hit. I also need to practice working an uppercut into a set of combos. I mean I have a couple right now for my "mixed" style, one is five hits the first three are to disorient with the third to bring you in close then the last two are to finish. That's my usual that I normally practice. Then I got a barrage from my right, where I leave my left behind to help in defending myself. One that I really need to practice is moving from punching to leg work where I start off with the first three hits from the combo I mentioned earlier and then rather than finishing with my elbows I grab and slam their jaw into my knee. That is a legit move that my brother is going to help me practice. And there's one other style that I practice but is too hard for me because of being strong that I call "drunken" style, cause I compare it to drunken boxing. Now drunken boxing is just where you're highly unpredictable, but I compare it to it because it looks like I'm drunk and is centered around being loose. Now it's not biceps and triceps that are getting in the way for this but my shoulder tendons. I can loosen my shoulders to the equivalency of being dislocated so I swing them faster when I twist my hips, something that I've practice because it applies to traditional boxing. It's centered around knowing when to loosen my shoulders to improve the speed of the punch. What happens is when you throw a punch your shoulders kick in after it's been out by about a half and make it so it doesn't go any faster so that you don't tear your shoulder. What I do is after about 3/4 of the punch I let go and my fist flies by itself. The other method I have is the more dangerous one, to me and the opponent. From twisting my hips while my shoulder's loose and my fists are hanging at my sides. It flings my arms out and they go faster than any normal punch could from me. The danger part is because when you have it in a fist it goes way faster than with your hands flat and it tears the shit out of your shoulder. I can only do about three hits from each arm with it before it starts to get really painful for me. But in those six hits total I can knock you out easily. And most of all, when punching to keep my muscles from becoming a hindrance I don't wear gloves half the time so that I'm more prepared for bare fist fighting. That and I don't wear wraps as much either. If there's one thing I really should practice it's open palm, even though it's weaker it's safer for you, and if you manage it right it hurts like a bitch, you just need to know where to hit.
